Aaww, what causes this abscess?
Is it from the teeth rubbing onto his inner cheek?
Is there any home remedies that you can do to prevent abscess?
Hans is a strong bunny, I hope that this isn’t too painful for him at this point.

Thanks for all the good wishes, healing vibes and disapproving bunny butts :D

I’m not sure exactly why/how the abscess came back, when the offending tooth has been removed.. I’m guessing that maybe the earlier course of antibiotics didn’t completely eliminate the bacteria, and once Hans stopped taking the antibiotics, they started flourishing again.

Oh poor Hans….. Oh this makes me worry so.
Today I took Chloe to the vet. She has an infection in her jaw (tooth root) and they removed the two of her back bottom teeth that we had filed down 3 weeks ago. She will be on 3 weeks of antibotics. This is just awful for our little babies.
The anitbotics they gave me I have to wear a glove to give it to her. They said it’s dangerous for humans! Scary!

I add echinacea tincture drops (1 to 3) to my bunnies water to boost their immune system.

Calendula is also a healer, but I wouldn’t know how to use it inside the mouth, only on the skin outside, as it soothes.

Wish I could help some more.

Maybe try some (very anti-bacterial) freshly cut rosemary sprigs for him to chew – as long as they don’t go into the tooth area. Maybe they can be ground into a paste and he can lick it off your finger?

Oh bummer…poor Hans :( Hopefully the next course of action will be decisive for killing the abscess for good. I do not have much to offer, unfortunately, but maybe the vet should use a different antibiotic to fight the bacteria. Good luck! x

Awww, poor little Hans :(
If the abscess is not drained or resorbed completely, a chronic abscess will result too. If it is partially sterilized with antibiotics, then an antibioma may form. Sometimes Staphylococcus Aureus (bacteria which cause pyogenic infection & abscess) may resistance to certain antibiotic (especially when certain strain type are not eradicated fully via antibiotic course), change of other better & safer antibiotic might help.
Choychoy “Hans, you’re strong + Baileys’ support, will get through this again. We are strong bunneh!”
